Category:Long monitored short pages

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category is automatically populated by articles more than 550 characters long tagged with {{subst:long comment}}.

Soft redirects and legitimate, very short articles and lists (smaller than about 200 characters) are tagged in this way to stop them appearing on Special:Shortpages, so it can be used to find problematic articles. If the article becomes significantly longer than this, {{short pages monitor}} and its accompanying comment can be removed. However, check that the article content is acceptable; a formerly very short article that has suddenly grown to more than 550 characters can indicate a mass introduction of text that may not belong.

This category is periodically cleared by User:Bot1058 (task 5), except for pages with long comments not conforming with the string produced by {{subst:long comment}}.
